Q&A: Chocolate “Salad” recipe?
Question by montanalilac: Chocolate “Salad” recipe?
a group of friends is having a Salad potluck for a get-together next week. I’m the unabashed chocoholic of the bunch and am subconsciously expected by them all to somehow make chocolate fit into the theme. Any recipes for layered chocolate dessert (other than pudding with whipped cream) or fruit and chocolate, or, or, or…? BTW, I’m not a fantastic cook, so the easier the better! Thanks!

Try this one for a chocolatey salad, good luck!
Arugula & Mango Salad with White Chocolate & Sriracha Vinaigrette
All i can say is that this salad had me at hello… it was impressive in every way. the white chocolate is very subtle and the acidity of the vinegar breaks the cocoa butter perfectly.
Ingredients:
1 package baby arugula leaves
1 mango – sliced
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 tablespoon sriracha
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup grated best quality white chocolate
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Preparation:
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine the sugar, orange juice, sriracha, and white wine vinegar. Stir and bring to a simmer to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat and add the white chocolate, stirring well to melt and incorporate it into the dressing. Set aside and let cool, but do not refrigerate or the chocolate will set and become hard.
Combine the arugula, cilantro, and mango in a salad bowl whisk the olive oil into the white chocolate mixture to incorporate, season with salt and pepper, and toss well.

in my regular waldof salads, i usually use a crisper apple like fugi, gala, granny smith,or a combination of those. i also don’t use raisins, raisin paste, or oranges.it’s up to you you can omit or add whatever sounds good to you!
Chocolate Bliss Waldorf Salad
•1/4 cup mayonnaise
•1 tablespoon sugar
•1 tablespoon raisin paste OR 2 tablespoons raisins
•1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
•2 cups (2 medium) red eating apples, unpeeled and coarsely chopped
•1/2 cup mandarin orange segments
•1/2 cup (1 stalk) thin celery slices
•1/2 cup chopped walnuts
•1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Mix mayonnaise, sugar, raisin paste and orange peel in large bowl.
Stir in apples, orange segments, celery, nuts and chocolate chips. Serve on salad greens, if desired. Cover and refrigerate any remaining salad.
if you need a chocolate salad you could just make a fruit salad where all the fruit is chocolate covered…like chocolate covered strawberries (small one without stems obviously) chocolate covered orange slices and chocolate covered banana slices…make sure you freeze all the fruit on like cookie trays so the chocolate can harden and mix it all right before you go- store in the fridge until service 🙂 just an idea
